BC-49 $10 1971 Progress Proof
An attractive example of this progress Proof of the new $10 note
that was introduced in Canada in the early 1970s. It was intended
to replace the 1954 series that was rampantly counterfeited, and
this new issue incorporated many new security features. This Proof
shows the Coat of Arms of Canada at left, the purple and
multicolored tint at center, and a silhouette at right that would
eventually hold the portrait of Sir John A. MacDonald. PCGS
Apparent Choice New 63, with some minor stains on the face
and mounting residue on the back.
